The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones
Today’s young women are growing up in a world shaped—and often distorted—by the rapid advance of digital technology. Parents feel this pressure daily as they try to balance priorities, set healthy limits, and navigate a culture that treats constant screen use as inevitable. With statistics as alarming as 1 in 3 young girls having seriously considered taking their own life in the past year—along with increasing vulnerability to online predators—the questions surrounding technology are no longer abstract concerns; they are urgent parenting challenges.
In The Tech Exit, Clare Morell offers a response that is both simple and deeply hopeful: “You and your family can be free. The life you want for your children is within reach.” Morell outlines a practical, step-by-step model for a tech-free childhood—one without smartphones, social media, tablets, or video games—showing families that what feels impossible is in fact attainable. She provides concrete strategies for building a tech-free home, advocating for your children in your community, and strengthening society by freeing the next generation from dependence on digital devices.
Addressing the major debates and resolving some of the common paradoxes of 21st century parenting, Morell’s book is a valuable guide for families seeking peace, freedom, and healthier childhoods in a digital age.
